ENNIS DEYOTION TO SCIENCE.

Emin Pacha may DO recreant Christian
and time-$erving Mahometan, but he Is
sincere in his devotion to science. The letters
recently received from him in England dis
close his real character as patient invcstiga-
tor whose supreme motive In asdesre to in
crease the stock Of human knowledge respect
ing Equatorial Africa. One Of these letters
was written in a respondent spirit, but the
timely arrival of a caravan sent by DR..
Junker from Uganda restored his courage and
enabled him to speak subsequently with hope
funess Of his position and prospects dc
gives very few details of the situation in the
Equatorial provinces apparently decming 1t
imprudent to furnish explanations in letters
which have TO pass under the eyes OF his
enemies. Respecting his scientific occupations
and explorations he is less pticent. Surrounded
oy hostile tribes and forced to exercise con-
slant supervision OF his native troops and the
government of the provinces he finds relief
from arduous labors and distracting anxieties
in study, field work and scientific investiga
iion This budget of correspondence contains
an article which he has written in circum-
stances Of exceptional difficulty on the subject
Of Albert Lake and the tribes inhabiting its
shores.
When General Gordon was in tho Equatorial
provinces he ordered one Of his lieutcnan.s 10
mako survey Of this interesting lake. 1T
had been generally believed that there were
rivers at the southern end of ii connecting IT
with other lakes. The lieutenant failed to
find any new rivers, although he circumnayi-
gated tho Albert Lake. Gcographers have
been unwilling however, to give up then
theory that the Muta Nzge, lake less
than 200 miles to the south, sends lis waters
northward 10 the Albert and is therefore c'
titled to he considered one Of the sources
the Nile. Emin Pacha partly confirms TIN
hypothesis He ha, discovered river flowing
into the Albert at the southern end, and re
ports that it is stream Of considerable SIZE
with a large volume Of water throughout the
year. He has made three excursions to the
Albert fIon Wadclai and is preparing map
which will complete DR.. Junkcr's recent geo
graphical work in the adjacent districts.

CHEERFUL news comes to The ALERT
from the New England Colony associa-
ton for Dakota. The assoclation has
this winter been industriously advertising
the advantages colony OF New
ENGLAND farmers would obtain by
settling in some part of the territory
near each other. The matter has been
worked up by such men as Hon. Thomas
Bicknell, Boston: Col. J. B. Mead, Ran
dolph, Vt; Hon. T.. B. Kimball, Gayville,
VT; L. A. Dodge, Boston. The Vermont
gentlemen arc well known to residents
here from the Green Mountain state.
They give the enterprise character and
responsibility. They have secured the
consent of some two hundred families to
ioin the colony to start by the
first of May and they propose
to get in some part of the territory
where they can start prosperous town,
keep neighbors and better their condition
in life. The James River valley f1lrn-
ishes hundreds of locations near railroads
and markets with abundance of good
land for Just such colonies as these, and
nothing would be lost if efforts were
made to induce the new cOmers to inspect
the advantages of this or neighboring
counties,
